| I have a brand new (suzuki m109) i take care of this bike like a baby on time services, no speeding trying to take good care of it because me and my lady felt in love with it, after 4 months of use and several trips to the shop the transmission goes, take it to the dealer a week later they tell me that the 2nd gear fork is bent and there's going to be a charge of $2,500 on the owner and i said how can it be possible when is a brand new bike they said there's no defect on the parts that it was the owner mishandling it, i said no way , not even the corp is going to take care of this problem? so i call some people and got to fill out a consumer protection form and we got a hearing coming soon. last time i talk to the dealer they said come and get it in a box and i said i dint pay $13,000 for a bike in a box the bike is in the dealer since 10/2007 so i hope this info could help me and other people that are having the same problems with the same bikes....go to www.m109riders.com, and click on shop talk thank you for all your help. *tr | |||
